One of the most common methods for generating AI art online now seems to be a program called
Stable Diffusion, which was either released or leaked in some capacity for individuals to be able to generate their own, locally at home for free. I have never used it and can't give support for it or anything, but Googling for Stable Diffusion will result in subreddits to help get started with it and various guides. There are also different datasets that it's been trained on, so for example you could download a set that's more adept at Disney/Dreamworks animated movie style. From what I understand, it also requires a pretty hefty modern video card to do it well and in a reasonable timeframe. The most recent Nvidia 3000 series cards are the standard minimum spec.
Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I daydream about a mod that will easily or automatically export artifact/statue/engraving descriptions and send them to a feed that automatically generates AI art based on the description. Even better if it could automatically post to social media for upvotes or downvotes that could help guide the AI in knowing if it did a good or bad job on the image.
What's kind of nice is that dwarven creations are already formatted properly for AI art, since earlier statements in the block of text are weighted more heavily for what the base image looks like ("a granite earring," "a green glass floodgate").
Craiyon is not as good as Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, but an example of the kind of output we could see, I grabbed the artifact description from a Reddit post:
A granite earring. It is decorated with alpaca wool and encircled with bands of birch. This object menaces with with spikes of emu leather. On the item is an image of Olin Yellrazor the dwarf the dwarf in granite. Olin Yellrazor is cringing. The artwork relates to the crushing of the merchant Olin Yellrazor under a drawbridge in Mirrorwatched in the late autumn of 131.
Two more, from old bay12 posts:
This is a raw adamantine bracelet. It is encrusted with ruby and star ruby. On the item is an image of Stukos Woundlashed the dwarf and a palm bed in raw adamantine. Stukos Woundlashed is raising the palm bed. The artwork relates to the masterful palm bed created by the dwarf Stukos Woundlashed for The Purple Mirror at Truthceilings in the early winter of 403. On the item is an image of a forgotten beast in ruby.
A horse leather shield. It is decorated with horse leather and encircled with bands of malachite. It menaces with spikes of fungiwood. On the item is an image of Nish Roadchannels the dwarf and dwarves in iron. The dorfs are refusing Nish, who is making a plaintive gesture. It relates to the removal of Nish Roadchannels from the position of outpost liaison of the dipped arrow in the early winter of 7.
If some sort of feed were developed, I'd think you'd want just one image to be generated, like definitively saying "this is what it looks like" for easy judging of how good a job the AI did.
